hybridise
Blend genetic lines
Hybridise is the British spelling of hybridize—to cross-breed different species or varieties to produce a hybrid: The botanist hybridised two orchid species.
The term extends to combining different elements: The cuisine hybridises French and Vietnamese influences.
In genetics, to hybridise DNA is to combine strands from different sources.
